Largest of many cutts and salmon smolts (??) caught today . Many many chum fry out there.
Not a big one by any means but a nice fish that came out of the water and dove on my flatwing with a vengeance.

I was using this smaller poxy chum fry pattern that was producing great for me early on, But there is so much bait in the water that Ive been switching to less sparse and more flash to get my pattern noticed amongst the hordes of smolt where ive been fishing lately. Did you get any fish on the one I gave you Jack? Or did you explode it on the rocks like I usually do.

Here's that MSF with an extra olive bunny strip tail. It didn't give much extra length to the fly, but the cutties liked em. Caught a bunch of little guys, with the biggest being about 10 inches yesterday with it. Still haven't convinced any larger cutt's to take either the original, or the modified.
The scissor points to the original purchased version. Cast the ebb today one small cut on a popper. I really like Pat Lats smolt pattern. Picked up a copy of Les Johnson Sea Run. Maybe there should be an SRC fly Patten thread?
